Here is patch level 3 for phpMyAdmin 2.6.1. It fixes a problem introduced in -pl2: can no longer update a field whose name starts with "str".
Also included, a fix for the privileges management module: escaping of the "_" character was not properly done, giving a wildcard privilege when editing db-specific privileges with phpMyAdmin.
